HomeWorld Cup 2026 is complete. This page preserves the final hierarchy filed on 3 June 2026 and the evidence available at that point. Verified tournament penalty outcomes will be added as a separate audit layer rather than rewritten into the original call.
Iraq penalty taker
Our final filed Iraq hierarchy for World Cup 2026 had Amir Al-Ammari first, with Aymen Hussein as the closest backup.
Who is Iraq's penalty taker?
Our final filed Iraq hierarchy had Amir Al-Ammari first, with Aymen Hussein next in line.
Amir Al-Ammari has the strongest direct Iraq evidence right now because The national-team penalty log records him converting Iraq's late World Cup qualifying penalty against the UAE in November 2025. That is the cleanest recent senior spot-kick in the file and it is enough to review Iraq into the main board. Aymen Hussein remains the best secondary because he is still Iraq's main centre-forward and biggest open-play scorer, so he is the likeliest fallback if Al-Ammari is absent or the order shifts.
If you searched for Iraq penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the final tournament-cycle answer we filed. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order was published.

Why the board looks like this
Internal hierarchy checks
We keep the public archive focused on the filed primary, closest backup and the match evidence that shaped the hierarchy.
The internal file stays broader so we can re-check squad context, event timing and backup pressure without turning the page into a raw research appendix.
